“…Causing considerable drag and increased fuel consumption so integrating these antennas into the aircraft skin is highly desirable. 1 So, conformal array antennas are very important and many research studies have already been done in various fields of this topic, such as scattering from conformal arrays, 2 conformal arrays for radar applications, 3 design and measurement, [4][5][6][7] beam forming, and pattern synthesis of conformal arrays. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] In many cases, one of the main problems associated with conformal array antennas is synthesizing desired patterns for specified applications.…”

Pattern synthesize of conformal array antennas is often a challenging problem. Various optimization algorithms such as genetic, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and invasive weed optimization have already been used for pattern synthesizing of conformal arrays. In this paper, a focused beam is synthesized for a quarter cylindrical conformal array antenna using the PSO algorithm with small computations. The desired pattern is a focused beam at θ = 90° and ϕ = 45° with 10° beamwidth in elevation and 15° beamwidth in azimuth with −20 dB side‐lobe level. This method can be used in general for synthesizing arbitrary desired patterns and array geometries.
